Overview

Artist paint, surfer wax and small business optimism bubbles up from the lofts and Craftsman bungalows of the East Village Arts District. This is the epicenter of all things hip in Long Beach: designer denim boutiques, street art, used bookshops and organic juice bars.
Come on a walk of the must-see East Village Arts District. We'll start with freshly roasted coffee, check out a few of my favorite murals, visit one of SoCal's last great record shops and end at an underground whiskey bar. This is a taste of real culture in Long Beach.

About Your Guide

I am a Long Beach, CA based painter and I love creating whimsical art that is inspired by the Day of the Dead. My studio assistant, Joseph, has 4 legs and a furry tail. He keeps me in line.
One other thing about me: I previously owned a cafe and served as a private chef, so trust that I know good food!
